Autumn

Autumn's voice echoes
Dancing like leaves blown in the wind
Across the Northern Hemisphere

Spring Memories

It was a new day
The wind whispered through oak leaves
Birds flew to their nests

Humanity

Original parents produced a single species;
Nature's prism the spectrum separated;
Evolution the skin tones of humanity decorated.

Rich is humanity's rainbow,
Arrayed in the colors of life,
Complementing the creation of The Deity;
Expressing the purpose of life.

No Time

We wrap time into neat packages,
Dividing the day into small slots,
Plan precisely every activity,
Leaving ourselves no time for thought,
No time notice the beauty of nature,
No time to feel our fellowman's woes.

Reading the Word of God Before Going to Sleep

My mind
hungry for reality
consumes the Holy Words.

My eyelids
heavy with meditation
fight to stay open.

My mind
thirsty for the Water of Life
drinks long and deep.

My eyelids
surrendering to the joy of rest
close in asleep.

Names of God

Each name
is a divine attribute,
a facet in love's gem,
and a reflection of the Almighty.

Is Hope

Is hope,
as some have said,
a desire for the tangible reality
of an item?

Is hope
a crystal goblet
reflecting the light of faith?

Is hope
a glass chain
attached to matters plain?

Is hope,
as others have said,
a creature with feathers
that lays snuggled in the heart?

On Hold

One instrumental after another
Nested between conversation breaks,
Holds my place in the queue.

One instrumental after another
Leaves me to languish in limbo,
Dallying on a frigid landscape.

Ink of Poetry

Tears of love;
the distilled essence of honeysuckles and lemons;
hemoglobin from the from the heart of existence;
attar of bitter herb;
nectar stomped,
by the bare feet of attachment,
from the blossoms and thorn of the rose of desire;
sap from the Tree of Life;
and the ink of Divine inspiration.

This is the ink of poetry;
this is natural medicine;
it passes through the spirit-mind barrier
to heal the soul's chemistry.

We walk in darkness
looking for the Divine Light.

and walk out of the darkness.

No Greater Glory

It isn't in the service of war
that our glory lies,
but in the service of peace.

Glory in the your service,

than in the service of peace.

Poets' Riddle

We are the sight of humanity,
And guides to the essence of reality.

We are the conscience of civilization,
Beacons indicating the next stage of evolution.

We are the scribes of history,
Journalist Transliterating chronology.

Peace Is Not Accompanied By Silence

Vibrations
flow across the landscape
of creation,
inscribing rhyme and rhythm
into the flesh of Being.

Retreating
to the far corners of eternity,
silence flees
the intonations of reality.

The Quest

He sit alone upon a mountain,
Seeking to know what will be,
He walked alone across empty plains,
Seeking to find eternity.

She walked along life's crowded way,
Helping her fellowman,
She labored long in the field of life
Feeding the hungry from her hands.

He died alone upon a mountain,
Still seeking to know what will be.
She died helping her fellowman.
Who found eternity?

Sacred Scriptures

God is an Unknowable Essence
all the sacred scriptures bear witness
to the existence and love of the Almighty.

Read each Holy Book
with joy and happiness,
asking the Almighty to help
you understand the inner meaning.

A single paragraph
or verse twice a day,
morning and evening,
in joy and reverence.
